🛡️ Base defense
Build a layered, cost‑efficient defense that punishes reckless pushes and deters air raids.
🐏 Nashorn tanks (core ground stopper)
- Role: Long‑range tank destroyers to anchor your kill zones on lanes and choke points.
- Placement: Stagger them behind cover and anti‑air to prevent easy focus fire.
- Synergy: Pair with spotters or air scouts so Nashorns never shoot blind.
🧱 Flaks (base defense)
- Role: Can attack tanks, boats, trains, helicopters and planes.
- Density: Multiple Flaks per base.
- Cover: Protect repair cranes; losing them snowballs damage against you.
✅ Quick checklist
- Anchor: Nashorns watching main approach vectors.
- AA mesh: Flaks overlapping fields of fire around core buildings.
- Fail‑safes: Extra AA near storage, factories, and repair cranes.
🚀 Attack and expansion
Expand fast, strike smart. Scouting first, then precision landing on weak points.
🏁 Early expansion with Lancias
- Why: Cost‑effective vehicles that capture neutral (yellow) bases reliably.
- Package: Small groups (e.g., 3 Lancias) can secure multiple early bases.
- Follow‑up: Immediately queue factories to turn territory into throughput.
🕵️ Air scouting before committing
- Probe: Use inexpensive planes (e.g., recon or light strike) to reveal defenses.
- Timing: Hit when Flaks are distracted or repositioned; never attack blind.
- Pathing: Approach from angles with poor enemy AA coverage; avoid straight lines.
🎯 Precision strike pattern
- Scout: Confirm AA density, Nashorn placements, and repair crane positions.
- Isolate: Pull defenders away; bait responses with a small feint.
- Collapse: Commit main force; prioritize cranes and AA first, then core buildings.
💰 Resource management
Throughput wins wars: more factories, smarter spending, steady gold flow.
🏭 Build factories early and often
- Scaling: More bases unlock more factories and storage for steel, concrete, aluminum.
- Priority: Queue production before cosmetics; idle factories are wasted time.
- Balance: Keep a buffer of each resource to avoid bottlenecks during attacks.
🪙 Daily gold via Polutorka
- Habit: Build 10 Polutorkas daily to secure a free gold payout.
- Utility: Use gold for premium units or time‑critical upgrades.
- Automation: Set a reminder—missing a day is leaving power on the table.
🚫 Avoid waste
- Skip weak spam: Don’t sink resources into low‑impact units when you need Lancias, Flaks, or Nashorns.
- Repair economy: Protect cranes and plan rotations to minimize downtime.
✈️ Air force tactics
Air power is decisive—but fragile. Manage risk, respect AA, and fly with purpose.
📡 Range and matchups
- Know ranges: Some ground units outrange light AA; exploit favorable duels.
- Windows: Strike when enemy AA is thinned or rotating to another lane.
- Spotting: Keep eyes on target; never rely on outdated intel.
🛠️ Preserve your wings
- RTB threshold: Pull back at ~15–20% HP to avoid losses that stall your tempo.
- Repair: Keep cranes protected and operational; repairs are your sustain.
- Combo: Coordinate with ground pushes so AA is busy when you dive.
🎛️ Flight plan
- Scout pass: Fast fly‑by to mark AA and high‑value structures.
- Suppression: Ground force pressures AA; air strikes hit cranes and AA nodes.
- Finish: Shift to production targets once AA net is broken.
🤝 Alliances
Your teammates multiply your strength. Choose well, coordinate tightly.
🧭 Choose strong, active teams
- Screening: Look for consistent activity, shared intel, and scheduled ops.
- Roles: Assign scouts, defenders, and strike leads to avoid chaos.
- Support: Share resources intel and rally to protect allied cranes.
📣 Communication rhythm
- Signals: Use clear calls for AA status, target priority, and fallback points.
- Windows: Plan joint pushes to overwhelm layered defenses.
- Recovery: Rotate damage and repair cycles across the team.
🗺️ Map switching
New maps bring fresh opponents and opportunities—move fast and dig in.
🚦 Move early, build fast
- Timing: Switch promptly when a new map opens; grab prime locations.
- Setup: Lock bases, place AA, and queue factories immediately.
- Intel: Scout neighbors to understand early threats and alliances.
🛰️ Stabilize and scale
- Defensive mesh: Establish overlapping AA and Nashorn kill zones.
- Economy: Expand storage and production to sustain operations.
- Network: Coordinate with alliance for territory lines and response plans.
🔑 Key takeaways
- Layer defense: Nashorns for ground, Flaks for air, cranes protected.
- Expand smart: Lancias for fast bases, factories online ASAP.
- Manage gold: Daily Polutorka routine—never skip.
- Fly disciplined: Scout, suppress AA, then strike; retreat before losses mount.
- Play as a team: Strong alliances turn good plans into wins.
📅 48‑hour starter plan
A compact schedule to set your foundation fast and safe.
Day 1: Secure and scale
- Open: Build Lancias; capture neutral bases near your spawn.
- Defend: Place Flaks and a Nashorn covering main approach.
- Produce: Queue factories; start the Polutorka gold routine.
Day 2: Probe and expand
- Scout: Light air recon to map enemy AA and cranes.
- Strike: Small precision raid on exposed AA; avoid overcommit.
- Alliance: Sync push timings; protect repair infrastructure.
